5.0 out of 5 stars it's actually not bad at all, July 26, 2006

This review is from: The Greek's Chosen Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

The book appears to be a softer reprise of The Unfaithful Wife (also by Lynne Graham). I like this one better, the story is not dark, and the hero is truly gorgeous. Ruthless, but not mean, nor abusive as The Unfaithful Wife Nik.
Frumpy heroine gets married to promising young Greek businessman -- by arrangement. If she doesn't, her rich and mean grandfather won't pay for her mother's treatment. If he doesn't, his family's business and lifestyle will be gone (think younger siblings that will have to be taken out of posh schools, and parents falling out of status). He gets plastered on their wedding night and spends the next 8 years regretting his behavior towards her that night (or what he thinks his behavior must have been). She nurses her mother, he works hard to pay off his family's debt.
I thought it a lovely story, the way he slowly falls in love with her over those 8 years, and the gentle way he tries to show it. It's not the divorce threat that makes him realize he loves her (the earlier reviewer to state so was wrong). He's been dreaming of settling down with her for a while. And it takes her this long to ask for a divorce because she's been nursing her mother until her mother passed away (the earlier reviewer had it wrong again).
Honestly, it's among the better books of Lynne Graham. Not on par with early Graham favorites (Spanish Groom, Bond of Hatred, Secret Wife), but still superior to work by (all) other Harlequin authors... and to most of the later Graham books. So it gets five stars. The hero is just wonderful. Fingers crossed Lynne Graham just got her groove back.

1.0 out of 5 stars boring, July 15, 2010

By 

D.Daraseng (Sacramento, Ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Greek's Chosen Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Kindle Edition)

I should have believed the majority reviews for this book that it was dud. The herione is plain Jane who after so many years apart from her husband wants a divorce. I cannot get over her name...Prudence. Her husband refuses which I dont know why because he has a mistress who is so much more interesting than Prudence. She is the ultimate doormat who runs a shelter for animals. But now she wants to live and love...There was no chemistry between characters or peak in the storyline....just boring.

1.0 out of 5 stars stupid, August 9, 2008

love to read "book diva" (san diego, ca) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Greek's Chosen Wife (Harlequin Presents) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was awful.I actually wonder if I read the same book as the others who gave it a good review. "The gentle way he tried to show he cared about her." This after he threatened to let all her animals in her shelter be put to sleep. Yeah he just reeks of sensitivity. Oh and lets not forget when he realises she didn't have a choice about marry him and after reminding himself he treated her no better than her grandfather thinks to himself a decent guy would let her go but well so much for decent. This book is just plain ugly.
